Tip of the Month
May is National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month
As women age, they are at increased risk of osteoporosis (brittle bones). You can help prevent osteoporosis by getting enough calcium and vitamin D and doing regular weight-bearing exercise (like walking or dancing). After menopause, you should have a bone density test at age 65 years or earlier if you have one or more risk factors for osteoporosis.
